Nnwom 128

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wosuro Awurade, na wɔnantew nʼakwan so.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

2 Wubedi wʼadwuma so aba; nhyira ne yiyedi bɛyɛ wo de.

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

3 Wo yere bɛyɛ sɛ bobe a ɛsow aba wɔ wo fi; na wo mmabarima ayɛ sɛ ngodua a afifi atwa wo pon ho ahyia.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

4 Yiw, sɛɛ ne nea wobehyira onipa a osuro Awurade no.

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

5 Awurade nhyira wo mfi Sion na ɔmma wunhu Yerusalem yiyeyɛ; wo nkwanna nyinaa.

May the Lord go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

6 Ɔmma wo ntena ase nhu wo mma mma. Asomdwoe nka Israel.

May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!
